CNN Embarrasses Itself with Amanda Knox Coverage

At the Daily Caller, Ann Coulter writes:

Just days after the Turner Broadcasting System CEO claimed that CNN “is a serious news network,” it aired a childish report on “Anderson Cooper 360″ about convicted murderer Amanda Knox, which appears to have been written by Amanda’s parents. Next up: “The Charles Manson story, reported by Squeaky Fromme.”

Amanda, you may recall, was charged, along with her Italian boyfriend and another of her acquaintances, with sexually assaulting and murdering her English roommate, Meredith Kercher, in Perugia, Italy, in 2007. Amanda and her boyfriend, Raffaele Sollecito, were convicted, the convictions reversed and then the reversal reversed.

Among the evidence for her guilt is that the murder weapon was found — freshly bleached — in the apartment of Amanda’s boyfriend with Meredith’s DNA on the blade and Amanda’s DNA on the handle.

CNN’s case for Knox’s innocence consists primarily of making snarky remarks about the prosecutor. This is going to be a long series if CNN plans on vindicating Knox by smearing all those who say she is guilty — the judges, forensic scientists, police, the other man also convicted of the murder — as well as the man falsely accused of the murder by Amanda.

CNN didn’t exactly shower itself with glory in its coverage of the Stuebenville rape verdict last month, either. As I wondered in February, “What’s Gotten into the Water at CNN?”
